Spirits lifted

SIR - Unlike the Royal Albert Hall we did include Rule Britannia in our "Children's Prom Concert" at Tunbridge Wells, to the delight of flag-waving children. We took the view that anyone not wishing to attend a traditional Proms-style concert needn't come - indeed, I was handed £200 worth of Royal Albert Hall tickets for that evening and asked to try to sell them during the interval. There were no takers.
